Abstract: Interpretive Uses of Seismic
Modeling
with Emphasis on Stratigraphy and
Seismic
Resolution
N. S. Neidell, J. P. Lindsey, F. J. Hilterman
Most of the initial benefits derived from simulating seismic
exploration over subsurface models were directed toward structural interpretive applications. Current
seismic
-model studies are providing insights which are principally of stratigraphic nature. For example, the resolution inherent in the usual band of
seismic
frequencies under appropriate conditions was discovered to be at least three times greater than previously conceived. Additionally, quantitative methods for utilizing wavelet-processed data are beginning to emerge. Such progress at this early stage of effort suggests more significant results to follow.
